If playing with a full double elimination system, there are two options: either start with a 1-0 score in favor of Twaryna and play a best-of-5 series, or start with a 0-0 score, but to win, Twaryna needs to win two best-of-3 matches against Hellight, while Twaryna only needs to win one.

P.S. The third game is played the same way as the first two, with the same map and starting castles.

When will this celebration of life begin?
Will there be a stream?

A lot of time has passed, and the guys still can't find a time to play. If there's no result by Friday, November 16, 2012, I'll have to schedule a specific time for one final, decisive match over the weekend of November 17-18, 2012, which will determine the winner. P.S. Or at least, agree on a time to play over the weekend of November 17-18, 2012, at a time that's convenient for you. That would work for me too.

13.11.2012 twaryna (red, Castle, Valessa, Tante) def HellLight (blue, Conflux, Kalt, Clavius) Panic 127

On the first week, cleared respawn, necropolis, Tante was given Earth Magic, repelled a pendant +5 necro, +1 speed, home cavalry in the citadel. On 122, expert Earth Magic, 250 skeletons + meat from the castle, I stand at the Griffin Conservatory 3-4 at the split. On 123, I take the Griffin Conservatory for 4 angels (-1 cavalry), break through to an adjacent zone, sit down to replenish mana in a village, Tante expert Air Magic. Then I head to the treasure zone, picking up villages along the way. On 126, using two lookout towers, I scout the opponent's exit into an adjacent zone and see that they are heading to an incredibly lucrative treasure zone. I clear what I can, get defeated, transfer troops along the chain, and ambush (in the last seconds of the turn) the meat on a noob. A surrender follows.

1-0. Thanks for the game!

19.11.2012 twaryna (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) def HellLight (red, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 8mm6a 215

Fast roads that eventually forked. Experience stone and stable along the road. On day 112, I take the native Conflux town. I reveal 2 external dwellings of water elementals. I decide to go for Ice elementals. On the adjacent zone, I reveal a Griffin Conservatory (3-4). I gather gold, scout; Kyrre grabbed 2 mini Dwarf Cottages. At home, horses in the Citadel; in Conflux — levels 1,2,3 in the Citadel. Kyrre leveled Archery and Logistics, Advanced Wisdom. On day 121, I visit Conflux to replenish mana and decide to build the Mage University to guarantee grabbing Earth magic, since I seem to have enough money. In week 2, I clear the Boots, upgrade water elementals; Kyrre has Expert Earth; I take a conservatory for 4 Angels, a Pandora's Box for 20 Cerberi, a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns; I enter the native corner treasure zone, taking a conservatory-1 there. On day 127, Kyrre has Expert Air (also bought at the university), Advanced Armorer. On day 132, Tanta (second fully developed hero) encounters Crag Hack in the center on 10 Angels — I buy him off. The next day, Kyrre hits Crag Hack with all my might. Buyoff for good gold. In this center, I take 2 conservatories, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives; then I kill the Dungeon player (taking Sword+6 and Bow there, revealing Skull Helmet) and the Tower player; I break through to my native Conflux, go to take the only revealed Dragon Utopia. Kyrre was given the Weapon. On day 142, I hit Dragon Utopia-1 — they give exactly what I need! The level 5 Cap and the Cherry Bow. The bowstring was already there; I see the arrows in the center. I build level 4 in Dungeon — they give Town Portal! On day 143, I take the opponent's main, which has a fair amount of un-bought meat. I reveal his respawn: 4 conservatories and an external dwelling of bears. Day 144 — I assemble the Sniper's Bow, take a Dragon Fly Hive, a conservatory, stat boosters. Kyrre with Intelligence. Day 145 — I take the village and the enemy's native Tower town, grabbing a Dragon Fly Hive there. Day 146, in his corner treasure zone, I hit the Black Market and buy Sword+3 — I have everything for the Armor of the Damned! I take the Conflux town. Day 147 — I take Castle (the last player's town), build Angels there. Day 211 — I break through to Hell's last village, start actively gathering gems and gold for Archangels. Day 212 — I take the last enemy village. Day 213 — I clean up the worthless corner treasure zone of the computer player. Tanta chases enemy heroes away from the village. Day 214 — I gather stat boosters and the home tree. Day 215 — Library and a couple of stat boosters for Kyrre; I continue to crush the enemy cockroaches. Day 216 — I build and upgrade Archangels. I overwhelm Crag Hack, followed by gg.

2-0. Thanks for the game!

ps. thanks everyone for the interesting tournament! ;)

Grats, Alexander. You deserved the victory, the games were epic, the spectators got a lot of pleasure!:smile49:

gg, dude. I was right to bet on you! And let that newbie sit quietly in the corner! Quietly!!!)))

I'm betting 50% on Twaryna and 50% on Hellight.

Yeah, the bet paid off, right in the final. Congratulations! :smile20:

I confirm that in the first game I was thoroughly punished by the layout, despite the fact that all restarts were dumped onto the opponent's Galtreans; even the last deal was such that, if I'm not mistaken, there were no chances... In the second, both of us got lucky deals—me at the respawn, the opp along the paths). I made a lot of mistakes during the third session; in 3 days with the necro-cloak and boots, I raised about 800 skeletons. I could have continued, but I made an epic move by giving the creg with 30 mana necro-arts and jumping to the Dragon Utopia, not knowing how to get back from there... anyway, congratulations on a well-deserved victory.

I didn't even watch the final stream to the end... (Congratulations, Tvarina!) A well-deserved victory in the tournament; you can proudly be called the father of newcomers in 2012. ;) =

twaryna, congratulations!

Congratulations to the winner. You play very well, keep it up!

Congratulations to twaryna on a well-deserved victory:smile49:! He mercilessly went through all the rounds, giving no one a chance! This is another brilliant example of how a newcomer can develop into a formidable player:smile20:! (P.S. I can't help but mention Sevensan)
HellLighT, congratulations on the excellent result!!! You were lucky enough to play against almost all the contenders for the title of newcomer and left them behind, but only in the battle with twaryna, luck was not on your side. Thank you for the great games:smile20:

Thanks to everyone! :)
